TSHEPO SENATLE: I GOT MUGGED A COUPLE OF TIMES' Koloi Tshivambu played by popular Skeem Saam actor Tshepo Senatle was recently mugged when he moved to Johannesburg and lost everything.
Senatle tells Drum Magazine that he relates to a quarter of the current storyline when Koloi set off to the City of Gold but he didnt get mugged to the extent that he was left half naked.

I got mugged a couple of times until I decided to buy a car because, for my entire life, I preferred walking. The first time I was walking from somewhere in the Joburg CBD to get a taxi at Bree, it was around 8 or past 9pm and before I even got to the taxi rank, I didn't have my wallet, phone, cash, and it wasn't even violent kind of a thing.
The guy was just walking behind me and all of a sudden he started asking for my belongings. It was like he was having a normal conversation. He said he is the Joburg king and this is what we do in Joburg. it's either you give me these things or I'll take them myself.' I didn't have the energy to fight. I gave them to him.
The second time was during the day and I had my earphones on listening to music. The phone was in my front pocket, and as I was walking across this lot of people. In my mind I was confident that there was no way someone would snatch my phone without me noticing because it is at the front, unfortunately, I bumped into this other guy the same way Koloi did with the dustbin man and after I crossed the street, I didn't have my phone anymore.
The third time was around 6pm. We wrapped up very late at work and now I had to go back home. I knew that day that there was a high possibility of me getting mugged because it happened before. I had everything in my backpack but someone confronted me, pointed at me with a sharp object and demanded to search my pockets.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN PLAYING KOLOI IN SKEEM SAAM' The actor Tshepo Senatle, who gives a stellar performance as Koloi in the SABC1 soapie Skeem Saam also tells Drum Magazine that he is very much aware of the whirlwind Koloi cause on social media.
I am honestly overwhelmed by the reactions. I don't know what to say because it is such a humbling gesture. I am so happy that people are receiving Koloi well and that they find how I play him interesting and relatable.

My biggest challenge was when Koloi lost his mother and as an actor I still have my parents. I did not know how it feels to lose someone who gave birth to you, let alone how to react to it. It was so difficult so much that I had to attend funerals of my close friends and relatives to see while mourning with them, so that I am able to deliver that storyline. It was scary.
